“Robocalypse” deserved way more positive attention than it received during the DS’s lifetime. One of only a handful of RTS games to be released on the platform, it combines Saturday-morning cartoon animation and sound with a simplified RTS scheme perfectly suited to the DS hardware. Friendly units follow instructions surprisingly well, though it can take time to learn the quirks of issuing and revoking orders. Enemy AI presents a strong challenge, but tends to follow a pre-determined strategy for each map. A worthy entry in your DS library if you can find it.
